There are also three 200-kwoil-insulated self-cooled transformers stepping up from 370volts to 16,000 volts, used in connection with the trans-mission line to the sub-station. The electrical apparatus is controlled from an eleven-panelswitchboard. The panels are each 90 ins. high x 24 X 2 ins. thick, built up in three sections of Vermontmarble. All panels are mounted upon angle-iron frame-work supported on an angle-iron base. The instruments,.
